What is the general view of this design, I'm trying to gauge the intersted of a more retro inspired New Tucker than a more contemporary style like this one

If you've not seen Tremulis's design for the Tucker Talisman, I'd like to suggest that as a starting point for a new design.

I guess this one may have about the right roofline.

I don't know that i'd ever seen that drawing before, I thought the talisman was going to be a 4 door. I remember seeing the drawings of another sedan in Egan's book, I thought was called the talisman... Anyway, still kind of a cool car.

The one in Egan's book is his design for it. Supposedly, Tremulis's design came after Egan's, but I don't know for certain.
